The Haselblad glass-especially for the standard 80mm lens-has fallen in value pretty dramatically over the past few years. If you are really interested, go to that site and bid for a lens-just what you want to bid and can "afford to" pay. Don't budge, and be patient. There are a good many lenses for sale. You might be surprised to find something fall into your lap!

Exactly! KEH has a 50/4 for only about $200 right now, and 80's for about the same and some 150's and 250's for even less. One 250 as UG for $99! I've done very well with UG stuff from KEH. Newest Hassy glass and more esoteric ones are still quite pricey but I've gotten incredible results with the older cheaper glass.

"would the pistol grip and the cable release make a difference in price if it were taken out?"

Tell you what, first person to repsond "I'll take it" with a subsequent payment to Silvertonedimages@gmail.com via paypal gets everything delivered for $469 delivered. That includes the grip, cable release and bag. Can't do any better than that!
